Unsupervised alignment reveals structural commonalities and differences in neural representations of natural scenes across individuals and brain areas by Ken Takeda, Kota Abe, Jun Kitazono, Masafumi Oizumi

“…To address this, we propose an unsupervised alignment framework based on Gromov-Wasserstein Optimal Transport, which identifies correspondences between neural representations solely from internal similarity structures, without relying on stimulus labels. Applying this method to Neuropixels recordings in mice and fMRI data in humans viewing natural scenes, we found that the neural representations in the same visual cortical areas can be well aligned across individuals in an unsupervised manner. …”
